One Tek Ecosystem
UK manufacturers typically operate with a fragmented technology estate. Broadband comes from one provider, IT support from another, VoIP from a third, CCTV from a fourth, cyber services from a fifth, and bespoke software from a sixth. This fragmentation creates: ● Data silos - production, security, comms and business data never meet ● Accountability gaps - suppliers blame each other when things break ● Cyber gaps - OT and IT secured separately, with weak seams between them ● Unpredictable costs - multiple contracts, renewal cycles and escalation models ● Integration cost at every change - adding a site, a line, or a system means coordinating half a dozen suppliers The business impact: unplanned downtime, delayed reporting, compliance friction, and slow response to growth. The OneTek Ecosystem The OneTek Ecosystem is a single integrated technology service delivered under one master agreement, one monthly bill, one accountable supplier and written SLAs. How It Maps to Manufacturer Business Challenges Operations & Enterprise Infrastructure ● Single-supplier accountability for the entire IT/OT/comms backbone ● SD-WAN resilience across multi-site estates ● M365, business systems and ERP hosted or managed under one roof Business Operations ● Unified communications integrating voice, messaging, Teams and CRM ● Shared accountability between IT support and comms - no more 'it's the phone provider's problem' ● Predictable monthly cost, no surprise invoices Cyber Security ● incident response that spans both IT (endpoints, M365) and OT (CCTV, ANPR, integration layer) ● Patching discipline aligned to insurer requirements (21-day critical vulnerability window) ● Vulnerability management across the whole estate, not just endpoints Legacy System Upgrade ● FLIN integration layer connects legacy PLCs, CCTV, door controllers, VoIP and business systems via open protocols (OPC-UA, MQTT, REST, SNMP) ● No rip-and-replace - existing working equipment stays, becomes part of a unified data fabric ● Incremental modernisation path Production Planning & Process Oversight ● FLIN surfaces live shop-floor, security and infrastructure data into structured data stores ● Data becomes usable for KPIs, dashboards, compliance reporting and continuous improvement ● Feeds existing planning, ERP or QMS systems - OneTek complements, does not replace

AI training hackday - build a prototype in a day
Most SME manufacturers know AI is important but are paralysed by choice — too many tools, too much hype, no clear starting point. Versantus AI Hackdays solve this by giving business leaders a structured, hands-on experience that moves them from "AI is scary" to "I built something that works today" in a single morning. The hackday format — inspired by software hackathons but adapted for non-technical business leaders — combines practical AI building with governance and strategy, so participants don't just experiment, they create something they can deploy. The ADAPT framework underpins every event, ensuring each business leaves with an actionable AI roadmap, not just enthusiasm.
